Winters Bourbon Cask Ale

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
St. Louis, Missouri USA

On tap at Trovatos. Orange-honey color with a huge head so big that the bartender had to pour it 3 times. Slight floral nose. Flavor better than buttwiper with a slight cor base. Odd essence of a Belgian wanna-be, quite different than a typical A-B product. Watery palate with no suggestion of bourbon at all.

Absolutely awful. Nothing about this offering was pleasing. The aroma was of hand soap and the taste left in my mouth was much the same. I’m glad I only sampled this and didnt have to drink an entire pint.

Odd aroma reminded me of bud but poured a darker carmel color w/ a nice little head on it. Palate was fairly decent, some ok coating, and things. Flavor was a pleasant surprise much better than expected some rice notes but a good amounts of carmel and some light vanillas in the finish. I really didn’t pick up much of the bourbon barrelling.

On tap, poured a semi-clear crimson with little head. Smells lightly of vanilla and tastes distinctly of the same. It actually tastes light vanilla yoghurt. I thought this was a pretty good one, but am pretty disappointed now that I find out it’s A-B.

I bought this while intoxicated, and in my haze i thought it looked like a tasty micro winter craft. It tasted like vanilla and booze to me and was not tasty. realizing that is is made by AB is not good either. i still have 5 left, so i will have to pawn them off on xmas visitors!

Bottle. Head dimishes pretty quickly leaving only a brown body. Flavor is nothing but vanilla extract and caramel. A really horrid experience. Who says you need more than an ounce to rate a beer?

12 oz bottle. Clear amber with a beige head. Sweet caramel and vanilla nose, light sweet bourbon notes. Smells kinda like one of those caramel candies with the white sugar center. Flavor is on the sweet side, vanilla and more mild sweet bourbon. Thin soda-like body. Vanilla really seems to take over in the finish. Weak flavor dooms what just might have been a fair beer.

Pure rubbish. Got this at O’Charley’s, on tap. Poured a lightish amber color, with a fairly tall head. Smelled of sweetened bourbon and vanilla, as mentioned. Taste is also as mentioned, very very sweet. Vanilla + Bourbon + Sugar = Nasty. Honestly the first taste was alright, but each one afterewards was hard to bear. Couldn’t even finish it.
